At the Four Seasons Hotel in Miami, core members of the Raptors are gathered in Odom's room to watch the All-Star voting results.

Carter lost less than 30,000 votes to Kobe in the Eastern Conference competition, and the Eastern Conference won the second highest votes, which is quite regrettable, but he has a good mentality and doesn't care about this. When playing basketball, happiness is the most important thing.

But after seeing Zhang Hao's votes, no regrets were gone.

"Haha, Lamar, I just said, Aix must be the king of tickets, give it money quickly."

Although he was not so unwilling to accept that he hadn't gotten the ticket king, Carter was still very happy to see that Kobe didn't get the ticket king either.

"You are so happy that you haven't got the ticket king. That's the ticket king! The endorsement fee for you to become the ticket king will definitely increase!"

Odom took out his wallet unwillingly and took out five bills of $100: "Aix's vote is outrageous! It's not that all the voters voted for him!"

"If there are 5 million voters, then more than 60% of the votes will write his name." Carter is a real all-round player, with good academic performance, and has received a music scholarship in college elective courses...

The others in the Raptors were also talking about Zhang Hao's 3.27 million votes, which was amazing!

Thinking back more than ten years ago, when they were still children watching others play in the NBA, they saw Jordan get more than 1 million votes in history, and it was already amazing. The number of votes in the NFL All-Star votes is nothing like that.

But now, Zhang Hao has raised the limit of the All-Star vote king to the level of 3 million votes!

He was just depressed, even if this matter had nothing to do with him Damon Stadmeier.

Looking back at the beginning, facing Zhang Hao's seven consecutive defeats, Damon Stodmeier could still be said to be a problem with the team's lineup. Indeed, even in those three years, even when Zhang Hao was with the Nets, his lineup was better than the Raptors.

But now, his teammates are far stronger than Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao still beat him... he lost to Zhang Hao 8 times in a row!

In the same class, those players who entered the NBA at the same time who were initially regarded as top geniuses had all experienced defeating Zhang Hao, even if some of them only once.

He is the only one who has never beaten Zhang Hao!

Not only that, he has to be forced to watch Zhang Hao’s shocking All-Star Ticket King with his teammates!

Looking at the teammates such a good atmosphere...

It’s ambition! Although Carter and Odom are both good at accepting the status quo, they will also work hard to make the team better.

The future... is bright, the core combination of Carter, Odom, Antonio Davis, paired with Doug Christie, Alvin Williams... The lineup is well matched and the core talent is strong.

This team has many advantages, but Damon Stoudemire doesn't think it has much to do with him. Although he signed a seven-year contract renewal of US$80 million before the start of the season, Odom scored 18 points and 10 rebounds in his debut. Not long after he scored another triple-double with 30 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists, he began to be marginalized...

"Why are the players in our class so miserable... Oh, except for the 24th who killed the sky! It's all his fault!"

...

Compared to the Raptors, the atmosphere is very good, the Chicago United Center has very low air pressure...

Like the Supersonics, Bulls players are also concerned about whether Kobe can become the third rookie in NBA history, All-Star vote king.

At first, when Kobe led the East, Bulls players were extremely expectant.

Then... nothing...

After Jordan retired in 1998, the Bulls began to clean up players from the Jordan era. Until now, Kukoc and Ron Harper have also been sent away... Although this actually weakened the strength of the B-Plan combination when he took over the team, the benefits were more. Kobe and McGrady were directly on the lineup without any obstacles.

But there is also a small problem. Most of the time, this problem is also good. Kobe's strong and oppressive sense can push his teammates forward most of the time.

But when Kobe was unhappy, the pressure was too great for his teammates.

McDiller left the lounge with Kobe, and his teammates suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and the pressure faded.

"Okay Kobe, it doesn't matter if you lose this time. Your votes will definitely be higher than him next time......"

Kobe looked at the squinting eyes next to him and said, "I don't care if it's the vote king, but the votes are lower than him, so I'm not happy! It's okay if there is no chance... Why do you think so many people vote for me, but don't vote for me as the vote king?"

"I'm also curious why you have so many votes."

"Yes, right? I actually have more tickets than Iverson, Carter and Jordan. Why?"

"Maybe fans nowadays... like to watch the missed shot."

"I XX you XX!"

...

...

If a player is popular and everyone around is discussing him, then more people will discuss him.

At this time, how popular this player is? When this popularity has a specific quantitative indicator, this situation will become more and more serious.

There are more and more people discussing, and the more people they dislike and hate, they will inevitably increase, but at the same time, there will also be more and more people who will turn to fans or follow them!

Although the All-Star Ticket King cannot fully represent how many fans there are from NBA players, such as Jordan, the only current era-level superstar who leads the team to three consecutive championships. After more than ten years of fan accumulation, the number of fans of the current popular superstars of the Middle Age such as Zhang Hao, Anthony Hardaway, O'Neal, Grant Hill cannot be compared with him.

But this is definitely the best quantitative indicator of current players' topic and popularity.

Zhang Hao made another history with 3.27 million votes, and the attention was over. On January 30, the NFL Super Bowl was over. It should have been the hottest thing until the start of the NBA All-Star Weekend, but it only hit Zhang Hao in the past two days. Now, media reports, the focus of people's discussion has returned to Zhang Hao.

It's too amazing, leading the second place by 1.06 million votes. I remember that before Zhang Hao entered the NBA, some seasons could win the ticket king with 1.06 million votes!

From the analysis of factual logic, this is the increase in the attention of the entire NBA since the mid-1990s, and Zhang Hao is just one of the driving forces.

But most fans don’t care so much. In their opinion, Zhang Hao is awesome!

76 points, 86 points, played 45 games and scored 20 triple-doubles, with 4 assists per game, and led a group of weak chickens to second in the Western Conference...

The entire sports world is paying attention to Zhang Hao, and the entire basketball circle is almost always discussed.

However, the All-Star Ticket King is just the exclusive achievement of a very small number of players, and it is completely impossible for most players and even most All-Stars to touch.

So, the fans were caring, but the players were just amazed, but that was it.

This year, except Carter and Kobe, no one has posed a threat to Zhang Hao's All-Star Talent King, and no one else has any idea of ​​comparing with Zhang Hao in this regard.

The stars of other top teams did not show too much envy, jealousy and hatred towards Zhang Hao in terms of the All-Star Ticket King... Except for the Lakers... Except for the top teams of the Lakers, they are all very grateful to Zhang Hao for his crazy performance in January, especially the two games at the end of January, which made the stars of the regular season champion contenders team, except the Lakers, want to give a thank-you speech to Zhang Hao with real names.

Originally, the gap between other teams and the Lakers' record was getting bigger and bigger. Even the Pacers, after getting Ratliff, still felt that it was almost impossible to catch up with the Lakers.

It is even possible that the Lakers will not lose until the All-Star weekend, and it is very likely that they will end the first half of the season with 8 losses and eventually win 65+ games.

But the Supersonics won twice against the Lakers at the end of January!

This opportunity for other teams to compete for the regular season championship is here!

The regular season champion! Most stars miss the regular season champion in their entire lives, saying that it is not that important. The regular season champion does not mean the championship, but everyone wants to win if there is a chance!

Zhang Hao disrupted the alliance with his own strength!

The way the Supersonics defeated the Lakers is also very special...

...

"Aix, is it a scam you said you want to get 101 points?"

“I want to create 101, but not now, I’m not strong enough.”

"That's really a lie?"

"Yes, I'm lying to the Lakers. If they want them to play in a mess, then we have a higher chance of winning."

"..." Even Barkley was amazed at Zhang Hao's thick skin.

That's what he admitted!

Let me give you more excuses! Give me more materials!

Forget it, there are still many things to ask today.

I felt sorry for Dapang, and Erpang started the next topic.

"How do you feel when you won the All-Star vote with 3.27 million votes and once again set the record for the highest votes in the NBA vote?"

"This is cool, I think no one can break this record in a short time."

"You can't break it yourself?"

"That's not what I mean. I won the ticket king in 2.18 million votes in 1996, and won the ticket king in 1998, and I won the ticket king in 1998. This is uncertain."

"It seems like that, but now your popularity is getting higher and higher, and more people like you. I heard that even South America has 300,000 people voted for you. You are already a world-class star. What do you think you are relying on to win the love of fans?"

Zhang Hao was also surprised by this incident. He originally thought that the vast majority of votes came from the United States and China, and of course it was true. However, according to the report of CNTV, his votes in China and the United States ranged from 1.8 million to 2.1 million votes, which means that about 60% came from these two regions, but more than 1 million bottles were obtained by Canada, South America, Europe and Asian countries.

Zhang Hao shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know why I got so many votes in South America and Europe. I can only express my gratitude, maybe because I am handsome."

This time, even Barkley wants to draw his sword!

Next question!

Generally speaking, during interviews, the person being interviewed wants to enter the next question, but when interviewing Zhang Hao, the reporter always wants to enter the next question.

"Aix, you agreed to participate in the slam dunk contest and the 3-point contest. In my mind, you have the strength to win both games. You once said that you were waiting for someone to enter the NBA duel to dunk. Now, are you waiting?"

"Yes."

"Carter Bryant?"

"Uh, I said it was Ricky Davis, do you believe it?"

“…”
